| "Case Studies in Data Mining with R" |
| "Case Studies in Data Mining was originally taught as three separate online data mining courses. We examine three case studies which together present a broad-based tour of the basic and extended tasks of data mining in three different domains: (1) predicting algae blooms; (2) detecting fraudulent sales transactions; and (3) predicting stock market returns. The cumulative ""hands-on"" 3-course fifteen sessions showcase the use of Luis Torgo's amazingly useful ""Data Mining with R"" (DMwR) package and R software. Everything that you see on-screen is included with the course: all of the R scripts; all of the data files and R objects used and/or referenced; as well as all of the R packages' documentation. You can be new to R software and/or to data mining and be successful in completing the course. The first case study, Predicting Algae Blooms, provides instruction regarding the many useful, unique data mining functions contained in the R software 'DMwR' package. For the algae blooms prediction case, we specifically look at the tasks of data pre-processing, exploratory data analysis, and predictive model construction. For individuals completely new to R, the first two sessions of the algae blooms case (almost 4 hours of video and materials) provide an accelerated introduction to the use of R and RStudio and to basic techniques for inputting and outputting data and text. Detecting Fraudulent Transactions is the second extended data mining case study that showcases the DMwR (Data Mining with R) package. The case is specific but may be generalized to a common business problem: How does one sift through mountains of data (401,124 records, in this case) and identify suspicious data entries, or ""outliers""? The case problem is very unstructured, and walks through a wide variety of approaches and techniques in the attempt to discriminate the ""normal"", or ""ok"" transactions, from the abnormal, suspicious, or ""fraudulent"" transactions. This case presents a large number of alternative modeling approaches, some of which are appropriate for supervised, some for unsupervised, and some for semi-supervised data scenarios. The third extended case, Predicting Stock Market Returns is a data mining case study addressing the domain of automatic stock trading systems. These four sessions address the tasks of building an automated stock trading system based on prediction models that utilize daily stock quote data. The goal is to predict future returns for the S&P 500 market index. The resulting predictions are used together with a trading strategy to make decisions about generating market buy and sell orders. The case examines prediction problems that stem from the time ordering among data observations, that is, from the use of time series data. It also exemplifies the difficulties involved in translating model predictions into decisions and actions in the context of 'real-world' business applications."

| "Data Mining with Rattle" |
| "Data Mining with Rattle is a unique course that instructs with respect to both the concepts of data mining, as well as to the ""hands-on"" use of a popular, contemporary data mining software tool, ""Data Miner,"" also known as the 'Rattle' package in R software. Rattle is a popular GUI-based software tool which 'fits on top of' R software. The course focuses on life-cycle issues, processes, and tasks related to supporting a 'cradle-to-grave' data mining project. These include: data exploration and visualization; testing data for random variable family characteristics and distributional assumptions; transforming data by scale or by data type; performing cluster analyses; creating, analyzing and interpreting association rules; and creating and evaluating predictive models that may utilize: regression; generalized linear modeling (GLMs); decision trees; recursive partitioning; random forests; boosting; and/or support vector machine (SVM) paradigms. It is both a conceptual and a practical course as it teaches and instructs about data mining, and provides ample demonstrations of conducting data mining tasks using the Rattle R package. The course is ideal for undergraduate students seeking to master additional 'in-demand' analytical job skills to offer a prospective employer. The course is also suitable for graduate students seeking to learn a variety of techniques useful to analyze research data. Finally, the course is useful for practicing quantitative analysis professionals who seek to acquire and master a wider set of useful job skills and knowledge. The course topics are scheduled in 10 distinct topics, each of which should be the focus of study for a course participant in a separate week per section topic."

| "R Programming for Simulation and Monte Carlo Methods" |
| "R Programming for Simulation and Monte Carlo Methods focuses on using R software to program probabilistic simulations, often called Monte Carlo Simulations. Typical simplified ""real-world"" examples include simulating the probabilities of a baseball player having a 'streak' of twenty sequential season games with 'hits-at-bat' or estimating the likely total number of taxicabs in a strange city when one observes a certain sequence of numbered cabs pass a particular street corner over a 60 minute period. In addition to detailing half a dozen (sometimes amusing) 'real-world' extended example applications, the course also explains in detail how to use existing R functions, and how to write your own R functions, to perform simulated inference estimates, including likelihoods and confidence intervals, and other cases of stochastic simulation. Techniques to use R to generate different characteristics of various families of random variables are explained in detail. The course teaches skills to implement various approaches to simulate continuous and discrete random variable probability distribution functions, parameter estimation, Monte-Carlo Integration, and variance reduction techniques. The course partially utilizes the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) spuRs package to demonstrate how to structure and write programs to accomplish mathematical and probabilistic simulations using R statistical software."

| "Linear Mixed-Effects Models with R" |
| "Linear Mixed-Effects Models with R is a 7-session course that teaches the requisite knowledge and skills necessary to fit, interpret and evaluate the estimated parameters of linear mixed-effects models using R software. Alternatively referred to as nested, hierarchical, longitudinal, repeated measures, or temporal and spatial pseudo-replications, linear mixed-effects models are a form of least-squares model-fitting procedures. They are typically characterized by two (or more) sources of variance, and thus have multiple correlational structures among the predictor independent variables, which affect their estimated effects, or relationships, with the predicted dependent variables. These multiple sources of variance and correlational structures must be taken into account in estimating the ""fit"" and parameters for linear mixed-effects models.The structure of mixed-effects models may be additive, or non-linear, or exponential or binomial, or assume various other families of modeling relationships with the predicted variables. However, in this ""hands-on"" course, coverage is restricted to linear mixed-effects models, and especially, how to: (1) choose an appropriate linear model; (2) represent that model in R; (3) estimate the model; (4) compare (if needed), interpret and report the results; and (5) validate the model and the model assumptions. Additionally, the course explains the fitting of different correlational structures to both temporal, and spatial, pseudo-replicated models to appropriately adjust for the lack of independence among the error terms. The course does address the relevant statistical concepts, but mainly focuses on implementing mixed-effects models in R with ample R scripts, real data sets, and live demonstrations. No prior experience with R is necessary to successfully complete the course as the first entire course section consists of a ""hands-on"" primer for executing statistical commands and scripts using R."

| "Multilevel SEM Modeling with xxM" |
| "Multilevel modeling is a term alternately used to describe hierarchical linear models, nested models, mixed-effects models, random-effects models, and split-plot designs. They are statistical models for estimating parameters that vary at more than one level and which may contain both observed and latent variables at any level. They are generalizations of linear models, particularly linear regression, although they may be extended to non-linear models.xxM is an R package which can estimate multilevel SEM models characterized by complex level-dependent data structures containing both observed and latent variables. The package was developed at the University of Houston by a collaborative team headed by Dr. Paras Mehta. xxM implements a modeling framework called n-Level Structural Equation Modeling (NL-SEM) which allows the specification of models with any number of levels. Because observed and latent variables are allowed at all levels, a conventional SEM model may be specified for each level and across any levels. Also, the random-effects of observed variables are allowed both within and across levels. Mehta claims that xxM is the only software tool in the world that is capable of estimating the effects of both observed and latent variables in a SEM nomological network across an unlimited number of levels.Some of the complex dependent data structures that can be effectively modeled and estimated with xxM include: Hierarchically nested data (e.g. students, classrooms, schools) Longitudinal data (long or wide) Longitudinal data with switching classification (e.g. students changing classrooms) Cross-classified data (e.g. students nested within primary and secondary schools) Partial nesting (e.g. underperforming students in a classroom receive tutoring)Model specification with xxM uses a LEGO-like building block approach for model construction. With an understanding of these basic building blocks, very complex multilevel models may be constructed by repeating the same key building steps.This six-session Multilevel SEM Modeling with xxM course is an overview and tutorial of how to perform these key basic building block steps using xxM. To convey a practical understanding of implementing the core model specification and construction concepts of xxM, seven complete illustrative examples are detailed over the six class sessions. One who completes this course will then be able to construct more complex multilevel models tied to their own research projects. The seven complete examples detailed in the course begin with: (1) a streamlined two-level bivariate random-intercepts model; and (2) a two-level random-slopes model. Then a (3) multilevel confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and a (4) random-slopes multilevel CFA are detailed, followed by random-slopes (5) 'wide' and (6) 'long' latent growth curve model examples. Finally, a (7) three-level hierarchical model containing both observed and latent variables is fully demonstrated. All of the necessary software, data, manuals, slides and course materials to productively specify and estimate all seven of the course model examples are provided and included in 'resources' folders associated with the video lessons."

| "Programming Statistical Applications in R" |
| "Programming Statistical Applications in R is an introductory course teaching the basics of programming mathematical and statistical applications using the R language. The course makes extensive use of the Introduction to Scientific Programming and Simulation using R (spuRs) package from the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN). The course is a scientific-programming foundations course and is a useful complement and precursor to the more simulation-application oriented R Programming for Simulation and Monte-Carlo Methods Udemy course. The two courses were originally developed as a two-course sequence (although they do share some exercises in common). Together, both courses provide a powerful set of unique and useful instruction about how to create your own mathematical and statistical functions and applications using R software.Programming Statistical Applications in R is a "hands-on" course that comprehensively teaches fundamental R programming skills, concepts and techniques useful for developing statistical applications with R software. The course also uses dozens of "real-world" scientific function examples. It is not necessary for a student to be familiar with R, nor is it necessary to be knowledgeable about programming in general, to successfully complete this course. This course is 'self-contained' and includes all materials, slides, exercises (and solutions); in fact, everything that is seen in the course video lessons is included in zipped, downloadable materials files. The course is a great instructional resource for anyone interested in refining their skills and knowledge about statistical programming using the R language. It would be useful for practicing quantitative analysis professionals, and for undergraduate and graduate students seeking new job-related skills and/or skills applicable to the analysis of research data.The course begins with basic instruction about installing and using the R console and the RStudio application and provides necessary instruction for creating and executing R scripts and R functions. Basic R data structures are explained, followed by instruction on data input and output and on basic R programming techniques and control structures. Detailed examples of creating new statistical R functions, and of using existing statistical R functions, are presented. Boostrap and Jackknife resampling methods are explained in detail, as are methods and techniques for estimating inference and for constructing confidence intervals, as well as of performing N-fold cross validation assessments of competing statistical models. Finally, detailed instructions and examples for debugging and for making R programs run more efficiently are demonstrated."

| "Bayesian Computational Analyses with R" |
| "Bayesian Computational Analyses with R is an introductory course on the use and implementation of Bayesian modeling using R software. The Bayesian approach is an alternative to the ""frequentist"" approach where one simply takes a sample of data and makes inferences about the likely parameters of the population. In contrast, the Bayesian approach uses both likelihood functions and a sample of observed data (the 'prior') to estimate the most likely values and distributions for the estimated population parameters (the 'posterior'). The course is useful to anyone who wishes to learn about Bayesian concepts and is suited to both novice and intermediate Bayesian students and Bayesian practitioners. It is both a practical, ""hands-on"" course with many examples using R scripts and software, and is conceptual, as the course explains the Bayesian concepts. All materials, software, R scripts, slides, exercises and solutions are included with the course materials. It is helpful to have some grounding in basic inferential statistics and probability theory. No experience with R is necessary, although it is also helpful.The course begins with an introductory section (12 video lessons) on using R and R 'scripting.' The introductory section is intended to introduce RStudio and R commands so that even a novice R user will be comfortable using R. Section 2 introduces the Bayesian Rule, with examples of both discrete and beta priors, predictive priors, and beta posteriors in Bayesian estimation. Section 3 explains and demonstrates the use of Bayesian estimation for single parameter models, for example, when one wishes to estimate the most likely value of a mean OR of a standard deviation (but not both). Section 4 explains and demonstrates the use of ""conjugate mixtures."" These are single-parameter models where the functional form of the prior and post are similar (for example, both normally distributed). But 'mixtures' imply there may be more than one component for the prior or posterior density functions. Mixtures enable the simultaneous test of competing, alternative theories as to which is more likely. Section 5 deals with multi-parameter Bayesian models where one is estimating the likelihood of more than one posterior variable value, for example, both mean AND standard deviation. Section 6 extends the Bayesian discussion by examining the estimation of integrals to estimate a probability. Section 7 covers the application the Bayesian approach to rejection and importance sampling and Section 8 looks at examples of comparing and validating Bayesian models."

| "Mediation, Moderation, and Conditional Process Analysis" |
| "Mediation, Moderation, and Conditional PROCESS Analysis is a methodological statistical technique developed by Dr. Andrew F. Hayes which is applied to ordinary least squares (OLS) regression. PROCESS simplifies the 'untangling' of the analyses of combined direct, indirect and total effects driven by simultaneous mediating and moderating influences in an OLS regression model. However, PROCESS can also be directly applied to estimate the mediating and moderating effects of latent variables in PLS path modeling and in covariance-based SEM. In 2013, Dr. A.F. Hayes developed and published a comprehensive statistical approach to estimate and interpret intertwined, cascading, mediating and moderating, direct, indirect, and total effects, and the comparisons of significant differences between them, as embedded in a series of 77 templates for linear models. Dr. Hayes comprehensively integrated these techniques into a coherent set of SAS and SPSS 'PROCESS' scripts to estimate these complicated effects in linear regression models. We extended these SAS and SPSS scripts with R scripts and a GUI interface and applied this approach directly to both OLS regression and to PLS path modeling results. In this course, we provide our complimentary GUI-based desktop application, allstatGUI, that reliably calculates these estimates using participants' own data and OLS models. This course explains the conceptual basis of PROCESS and demonstrates how these complicated mediating and moderating effects can be reliably estimated on your own data and models using the allstatGUI application developed by Mr. Dean Lim and Dr. Geoffrey Hubona.All software is included with the course materials. The course is structured as a tutorial which begins with simple mediation models and then progresses through a series of moderation examples. All of the models and data and analyses are provided with the course materials. A course participant should then be able to apply the PROCESS analysis approach to their own data and models which may contain a mixture of combined mediating and moderating effects.Anyone who regularly works with regression models would benefit from this course. This includes graduate students, faculty and quantitative and data analysis professionals. However, please note that both our allstatGUI application and the PROCESS application are written in the visual RGtk2 language in R which has been noted to have problems running on a Mac computer. So if you only have a Mac computer available to you, you might have problems getting the free software that comes with the course materials to run properly."

| "Visualization and Imputation of Missing Data" |
| "There are many problems associated with analyzing data sets that contain missing data. However, there are various techniques to 'fill in,' or impute, missing data values with reasonable estimates based on the characteristics of the data itself and on the patterns of 'missingness.' Generally, techniques appropriate for imputing missing values in multivariate normal data and not as useful when applied to non-multivariate-normal data. This Visualization and Imputation of Missing Data course focuses on understanding patterns of 'missingness' in a data sample, especially non-multivariate-normal data sets, and teaches one to use various appropriate imputation techniques to ""fill in"" the missing data. Using the VIM and VIMGUI packages in R, the course also teaches how to create dozens of different and unique visualizations to better understand existing patterns of both the missing and imputed data in your samples. The course teaches both the concepts and provides software to apply the latest non-multivariate-normal-friendly data imputation techniques, including: (1) Hot-Deck imputation: the sequential and random hot-deck algorithm; (2) the distance-based, k-nearest neighbor imputation approach; (3) individual, regression-based imputation; and (4) the iterative, model-based, stepwise regression imputation technique with both standard and robust methods (the IRMI algorithm). Furthermore, the course trains one to recognize the patterns of missingness using many vibrant and varied visualizations of the missing data patterns created by the professional VIMGUI software included in the course materials and made available to all course participants.This course is useful to anyone who regularly analyzes large or small data sets that may contain missing data. This includes graduate students and faculty engaged in empirical research and working professionals who are engaged in quantitative research and/or data analysis. The visualizations that are taught are especially useful to understand the types of data missingness that may be present in your data and consequently, how best to deal with this missing data using imputation. The course includes the means to apply the appropriate imputation techniques, especially for non-multivariate-normal sets of data which tend to be most problematic to impute.The course author provides free-of-charge with the course materials his own unique VIMGUI toolbar developed in the RGtk2 visualization programming language in R. However, please note that both the R-provided VIMGUI package (developed in RGtk2), as well as the course author's provided VIMGUI toolbar application (also developed in RGtk2) may have some problems starting up properly on a Mac computer. So if you only have a Mac available to you, you may have some initial difficulties getting the applications to run properly."

| "Comprehensive Linear Modeling with R" |
| "Comprehensive Linear Modeling with R provides a wide overview of numerous contemporary linear and non-linear modeling approaches for the analysis of research data. These include basic, conditional and simultaneous inference techniques; analysis of variance (ANOVA); linear regression; survival analysis; generalized linear models (GLMs); parametric and non-parametric smoothers and generalized additive models (GAMs); longitudinal and mixed-effects, split-plot and other nested model designs. The course showcases the use of R Commander in performing these tasks. R Commander is a popular GUI-based ""front-end"" to the broad range of embedded statistical functionality in R software. R Commander is an 'SPSS-like' GUI that enables the implementation of a large variety of statistical and graphical techniques using both menus and scripts. Please note that the R Commander GUI is written in the RGtk2 R-specific visual language (based on GTK+) which is known to have problems running on a Mac computer.The course progresses through dozens of statistical techniques by first explaining the concepts and then demonstrating the use of each with concrete examples based on actual studies and research data. Beginning with a quick overview of different graphical plotting techniques, the course then reviews basic approaches to establish inference and conditional inference, followed by a review of analysis of variance (ANOVA). The course then progresses through linear regression and a section on validating linear models. Then generalized linear modeling (GLM) is explained and demonstrated with numerous examples. Also included are sections explaining and demonstrating linear and non-linear models for survival analysis, smoothers and generalized additive models (GAMs), longitudinal models with and without generalized estimating equations (GEE), mixed-effects, split-plot, and nested designs. Also included are detailed examples and explanations of validating linear models using various graphical displays, as well as comparing alternative models to choose the 'best' model. The course concludes with a section on the special considerations and techniques for establishing simultaneous inference in the linear modeling domain.The rather long course aims for complete coverage of linear (and some non-linear) modeling approaches using R and is suitable for beginning, intermediate and advanced R users who seek to refine these skills. These candidates would include graduate students and/or quantitative and/or data-analytic professionals who perform linear (and non-linear) modeling as part of their professional duties."

| "Linear Regression, GLMs and GAMs with R" |
| "Linear Regression, GLMs and GAMs with R demonstrates how to use R to extend the basic assumptions and constraints of linear regression to specify, model, and interpret the results of generalized linear (GLMs) and generalized additive (GAMs) models. The course demonstrates the estimation of GLMs and GAMs by working through a series of practical examples from the book Generalized Additive Models: An Introduction with R by Simon N. Wood (Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science, 2006). Linear statistical models have a univariate response modeled as a linear function of predictor variables and a zero mean random error term. The assumption of linearity is a critical (and limiting) characteristic. Generalized linear models (GLMs) relax this assumption of linearity. They permit the expected value of the response variable to be a smoothed (e.g. non-linear) monotonic function of the linear predictors. GLMs also relax the assumption that the response variable is normally distributed by allowing for many distributions (e.g. normal, poisson, binomial, log-linear, etc.). Generalized additive models (GAMs) are extensions of GLMs. GAMs allow for the estimation of regression coefficients that take the form of non-parametric smoothers. Nonparametric smoothers like lowess (locally weighted scatterplot smoothing) fit a smooth curve to data using localized subsets of the data. This course provides an overview of modeling GLMs and GAMs using R. GLMs, and especially GAMs, have evolved into standard statistical methodologies of considerable flexibility. The course addresses recent approaches to modeling, estimating and interpreting GAMs. The focus of the course is on modeling and interpreting GLMs and especially GAMs with R. Use of the freely available R software illustrates the practicalities of linear, generalized linear, and generalized additive models."

This course, and the courses that follow,are useful for both beginner and intermediate R programmers who want to understand the unique features of R and why ""Rworks the way it does."" I have been using, teaching, and writing applications in R for 6 years and have come to appreciate that R is a beautiful and elegant language that is especially well-suited for writing applications for data analytics, and formathematical and statistical applications. Furthermore, R is superior in terms of inherentgraphical data presentationcapabilities that go hand-in-hand with exploring and understanding data relationships.Most introductory R courses, those that do not directly address sharpening one's R programming skills, first teach the important R data structures, then the basics of R functions, and generallythe use of base R graphics capabilities. However, these introductory Rcourses are not targeted at the R programmer population, but rather at the general R user population. This course, Practical Foundations of R Programming,whichcontains all-unique material compared to my other Udemy R courses, addresses R data structures, R subsetting, and R functions, but from the focused perspective of someone who intends to write efficient higher-level applications using R. It is specifically intended to teach the most important foundation concepts and features of the R programming language which are necessary to understand to write efficient and effective applications in R.This course, which is exclusively ""hands-on,"" demonstrates the construction and use of R code within the RStudio IDE, andfocuseson the unique features of R thatcan make writing applications in R both a challenge and a delight. The course does not present a single power point slide and relies heavily on userexercises.

| "The course PLS Path Modeling with thesemPLS and PLSPMpackages in Rdemonstrates the major capabilities and functions of the R semPLS package; and the major capabilities and functions of the R PLSPM package.Although the semPLS and plspm R packages use the same PLS algorithm as does SmartPLS, and consequently produce identical PLS model estimates (in almost all cases with a few exceptions), each of the two R packages also contains additional, useful, complementary functions and capabilities. Specifically, semPLS has some interesting plots and graphs of PLS path model estimates and also converts your model to run in covariance-based R functions (which is quite handy!). On the other hand, the PLSPM package has very complete and well-formatted PLS output that is consistent with the tables and reports required for publication, and also has very useful and unique multigroup-moderation analysis capabilities, and a unique REBUS-PLS function for discovering heterogeneity (more multi-group differences). If you are interested in knowing a lot about PLS path modeling, it is certainly a good use of your time to become familiar with both the semPLS and PLSPM packages in R."

As a methodological field, variance-based path modeling with latent variables has witnessed more new, published technological advancements and developments than in the preceding two decades.This 7-session course teaches many of these new concepts and how to specify and model them with various PLSpath modeling softwares available today. All of the demonstrated softwares, some as trial versions, are freely available to use as of the publication date of this Udemycourse.Use the convenient new over-the-Internet PLS-GUI ""Software as a Service"" (SaaS) path modeling software platform with the capability to perform PLS-PM from any computer in the world using only a browser. Securely access, upload and/or download, and reliably estimate your PLS data files and/or modify and manipulate your PLS project andmodel files from any computer in the world. In addition to providing the convenience and speed of using the PLS-GUI SaaS platform, the workshop also instructs with respect to using the new ADANCO composite modeling PLS software which participants may install on their Windows or Mac computer.This is a ""hands-on"" course which explains the basis of many new PLS path modeling estimation capabilities and features, and which then proceeds to demonstrate numerous examples of these new capabilities and featuresusing various PLS path modeling packages. All of the demonstrated software, some as trial versions, are freely available to use as of the publication dateof this course.New PLS-PM capabilities and features which are explained and demonstrated include consistent PLS and non-linear PLS algorithm estimation, N-group multi-group analysis (MGA), prediction-oriented segmentation (PLS-POS) and genetic-algorithm segmentation (PLS-GAS), andnew visualizations for illustratinglatent variable and measurement itemrelationships. New approaches and techniques for estimating complex mediating and moderating relationships are explained and demonstrated. Also covered are a variety of new resampling techniques applicable to PLS-PM with bootstrapping, jackknifing, and blindfolding.It is useful, but not essential, to have some knowledge of PLS path modeling before you take this course.

| "The Ultimate Oracle SQL Course" |
| "List price temporarily reduced from $199.99 to $24.99Updated for Oracle 18c ! (Now covers Oracle 11g, 12c and 18c)Oracle is currently the most popular relational database management system in the world. It is used by thousands of big companies who are usually willing to pay good salaries to the right people, which includes those with practical Oracle SQL knowledge that is based on best practices and experience. Most SQL courses give you theoretical SQL knowledge. In this course you will learn by actually writing code.In spite of what you might have heard, relational databases are not going away anytime soon, and the demand for good Oracle SQL developers will continue on the rise.Learn Oracle SQL in a practical and smart way and jump-start your career as an Oracle SQL developer:Understand the most basic concepts about relational databases and Oracle.Learn how to read, filter and sort information from database tables.Learn how to use comparison, logical, set and other type of operators in Oracle SQL.Learn how to use numeric, text, date, conversion, aggregate, analytic and other types of Oracle SQL functions.Learn how to add, modify and delete information from Oracle databases using SQL.Learn how to use SQL to create and use tables, constraints, sequences, indexes and views.Get tips and knowledge that is usually only learned through years of SQL experience.Much more. Oracle implementation of SQL is very powerful. Learn it and use it smartly and stand out from the crowd.I created this course because although there are many courses about Oracle SQL available on different platforms and in different formats, most of them, if not all, focus too much on telling or demonstrating how to do things, but dont give you, as a student, the opportunity to test and practice what is being taught. Some of them tell you to practice or to do things along the instructor, but unfortunately, such approach doesnt really work. Seeing how things are done or just copying or repeating what you see on the screen is not going to help you learn SQL. You might feel that you are learning, but when the time comes for you to write a command on your own, you are most likely not going to feel very confident.In addition to that, most SQL courses, if not all, teach you the same kind of content you would find in a text book, but, what about those things that are not part of the official curriculum and are only learned through experience?The goal of this course is to help you learn Oracle SQL in a way that can make you stand out from the crowd. I really want you to learn and shine, and at the same time contribute with my grain of sand to bring more talented people to the IT industry. I want to help you become a standout Oracle SQL developer.Content and Overview:This course was designed with beginners in mind, but if you have some previous SQL knowledge you will still learn a lot. After setting the learning environment, it starts with the most basic concepts about databases in general and a very short introduction to Oracle and the SQL language.You will start learning about the simplest SQL statements and before you even notice it, you will be gradually progressing to more advanced concepts.It does not include demonstration lectures because the whole course is a coding demonstration. In 90% of the video lectures you will be watching my computer screen while I type, explain and run Oracle SQL code.It does not include labs at the end of each section because practically every lesson has a coding task for you to practice what you are learning.Please note that PL/SQL (Oracle's procedural language) is not covered in this course. You are hiring me to teach you Oracle SQL, and that is what I am going to do, and I will do my best to help you learn in a way that can really make you stand out from the crowd of thousands of people who start learning SQL every day.I will not only teach you SQL. I will share my years of Oracle experience with you through what I call experience tips. Those tips can really help you differentiate.And you dont even need to have a computer on which you can install Oracle software to take the course. I will show you how you can watch the whole course and do practically all the coding exercises from your browser, without needing to install anything, if that is what you need or want.Oracle SQL is very powerful, and you are about to start learning it! You could be being seen as an experienced and knowledgeable SQL developer by your friends, peers and potential employers in a very short time, but you have to take action. If you want my help, youve got it."
